Maybe they live in the climes they do. Maybe their lifestyles have them spending more time outdoors.
Maybe it remains a fact that the majority of Israelis are actually from Muslim lands, and those of European descent now make up 31 percent of the total population.
Maybe you're a…

The further problem with attempting to scoop a 'reasonable' dollop of anti-colonial, anti-Zionist rhetoric from basic Jew-hate is that the most Israelis do not come from Europe at all. A majority descend from Muslim nations from Morocco to Iran, Ethiopia and mixed families.

There has never has been any TV news broadcast equivalent of consuming any major metropolitan daily newspaper before they were eviscerated by chain ownership and the internet. Read one of those in full for a year and you had the equivalent of an undergraduate education.

Idiocracy, indeed. The death of print journalism dovetails magnficently with the collapse of democracy. A competent citizen is willing to endure some facts before he staggers into the voting room. The average American now? Doubtful.

Admiring of Gov. Noem's executing a recalcitrant dog to show who is in charge, I will no longer save for my memoirs a provocative anecdote about shooting kneecaps off an actor who did not read lines as written. HBO, I am a leader, and can be trusted to run your productions.

Last time I ate some reptile it tasted like chicken. So bring me a Rexburger with cheese and some waffle fries and stand the fuck back, @PETA.

One goddam photo of a man with a manatee wearing leather chaps in a perfectly consensual situation and the Russians never let you forget.

So it's back. And its time to acknowledge that the technobrat is insisting on restoring that which he himself trashed and that the blue-check is now the antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea of the internet.

I honestly had no idea that humorlessness was a disability the likes of which the rest of us -- whether white or male or whatever -- need consider with care and delicacy before attempting a punchline about some politician declaring pridefully that she fucking shot her dog.

I'm quite comfortable making jokes about many things that are funny because the humor is attenuated; sentient people in this case know I am not actually in favor of killing dogs. For another example, I will readily joke about schtupping your mother when actually...oh wait, never…

Not like that goddam liberal Biden, who let his pup run wild, chewing on Secret Service agents. A real leader would have put a hot one in Commander's brain and tossed the carcass on the White House lawn as a warning to others.

Absent violence against or the physical intimidation of others -- fuck speech as a metric, however offensive you find it -- if you, a university president, loose police on your own students, or do not oppose such an act by a politician, you are in the exact wrong line of work.
